Re: i wonder...? A common carrier is not assumed to know about abuses using its service. The reasoning is the service is big, it has many users, so the common carrier can't monitor it all constantly.
However, a common carrier is expected to take action when details of a specific incident are drawn to their attention of lawbreaking with their service.
Someone has to officially report it with reasonable details.
Failure for them to take action might be negligence, and it might eventually make them an accomplice. But they have to be told of specific incidents with enough detail. And maybe they should be told via the FBI so there is proof they were told.
In this case, with them billing the government for fraudulent phone calls (by non-deaf non-vocally impaired people) maybe the common carrier is the main monetary beneficiary of the fraud.
